My own fire side would be a source of reproach to me if 1 had anything for whose com fort 1 was responsible out taking the weather such days as this. And I beg you all who today Itave not provided shelters for your dumb creatures to re solve that you will not let another win ter pass with things like they now are. Don’t think that 1 am "daffy on the sub ject/' it is the way all Christians should be. Last week the sunshine and warm winds told me that if we did not bestir ourselves the enemy would take pos session of our chickens. So The Farm er and I armed ourselves with lime, a bundle of papers, some matches, an old broom and a hoe and set to work to rout the advance guard if there should be any in the hen house. With ashes containing so much good fertilizer, and good for the chickens to dust in. we have usually scattered under the roosts and in the place for the poultry to dust themselves Then, when we clean up things, we light papers and singe under and along the roosting poles, sprinkle lime, scrape the floor and put the fertilizer where it can be utilized. Once a month this goes on. and twice a year whitewashing is done. If mites once get the upper hand, yotf| certainly will have your hands full. I found them here, and I took each hen which wanted to set and rubbed ner “ with some insect powder, put some tn the nest and saw that she was freed tram them before the eggs hatched. Then, when I took each hen off, I put vasaline on her head, on her throat right under the bill, under each wing and just below the vent. That does not take much, for vasaline goes a long way; but many people use lard with about as good tesults. Put a tiny, tiny bit on each chick’s head and where the egg yolk has slipped into the little fel low, and you will not lose little chick ens. If there should be a place that is mfested one neighbor found the pile of shucks in a work with mites, you need energy and perseverance. Scalding will not do much good except on smooth sur faces' Kerosene oil and carbolic acid, five pints of oil to one of 90 per cent acid, or a wholesale burning is about the anly remedy for most places. Mites stay under things and by the time water gets there it's not scalding hot. I am pleased to see the way the let •era have come in. and 1 do hope that these will continue to help a faithful few keep the Household up to its stand ard. The farmer kept the weevils out of .he wheat by using carbon disulphide. He had the wheat in barrels and set i small saucer in each one. poured i.i the liquid and covered with thick sacks, the fumes sink, and net a thing can live in it. You can get a pound can for 50 renta and save many a dollar's worth of produce Pont open near the fire, nor stay in the room where you have put it to kill insects. We are now on our second barrel of omemade flour, and only those with flour made at a firstclass mill, out of homegrown wheat, can ap preciate the luxufy of our graham and white biscuits. -F And the farmer wishes me to say that f cqgjr cattle -differ with grubs in their -acks, you have only to put a drop •»r two of turpentine on each place and the matter is ended. The ground is covered wtih sleet, and f a -snow should come now there is no telling how long it will last. But it's eood for the wheat, and won t hurt things in warm tarns, but "God pity the '•old and hungry, man or beast,” is- my prayer. Faithfully yours. LIZZIE O. THOMAS’ Tuscumbia.

A LETTER TO BE PONDERED OVER, Dear Miss Thomas: Ain knocking once more for admittance into our Household. How many of the Household have planted any flowers for spring? T have planted my poppy seed. 1 have read where poppy seed’ should be sown upon the snow in February. 1 didn’t plant mine *in the snow, but I thought I would plant early, as I have never had any success with them when planted late. Sweet peas should also be planted in February. I was too busy to prepare the trench last fall, and we have had so much rain we can't plan anything in j the yard now. According to the old signs for the day of February foretelling. an early or late spring. 1 am sure the sign! was right for an early spring this time. I 1 always enjoy Mrs. Thomas' writings! so much, and I am sure that her advice! or. poultry alone would more than save us the price- of The Atlanta Journal if we really follow her instructions. I am yet a turkey and chicken crank, and am much encouraged by my sue-' cess. 1 had better success with my turkeys last year than I have ever had. ] Some of the hens laid five clutches of eggs. It is said that one is never content. I find it true with myself and my poul try. Aside from the profit, I am re ceiving so much pleasure, and also feel like my health has improved from the outdoor exercise: and last year 1 de cided to try something else, so I in sisted on my husband giving me a cot ton patch. He did, and 1 purchased some fine -seed. He had it planted for me. and it grew so fine that r would invite my company out to see my cot ton. I am sure no one ever enjoyed a cotton patch any more than I did mine, and I doubt if any great farmer ever felt any more elated over large fields of it than I did over my little patch. You know it is not the great quantity we have that makes us happy, but our happiness is due to the success and the interest we take in what we have. Somtimes it is surprising how much interest some of us (country women) can have in a thing when we know the money as well as the work will be ours. I suppose all of you read about the woman farmer receiving so many prizes on farm products last year fin Atlanta. It does jpy heart good when I read of a woman making a success of farming. We hear the cry of trying to. keep the boys on the farm. It is right that we should. -I believe that the farm is the beat place hr the world "for boys. Give r them-someth mg” that they can truly call Lnei*; ewn r not- theirs just While it is growing, and father's when it is sold. ,Jbere is .something else the country mothers and fathers too often neglect: that is trying to keep the girl on the farm.. It has been tested and proved that girls can make good on'the farm, and many girls would be so much healthier and. I believe I could say hap pier. doing something on the farm. If only we could get them interested in something thaL.they could make money out of. They could make v ery little at home, and save as much as they could ‘ making more in the city, after expenses\ are paid. Mothers, try to keep your girls at | i home. MRS. M. MALLICOAT. . Summerville. Ga. A SEEKTB AFTER INFORMATION. Dear Household: As I have been a silent reader for • a long time. I thought I would step in for a few minutes. I will promise] not to stay long, as it is my first at-1 tempt to write. I live’on a farm and like it fine, as I have all of the privilege of the pure ! fresh air and country pleasures. 1 wish I the old writers would all 'come back' again. Tkmltry yaisers, please tell me what to do for my little chickens. As j soon as I take them off they get full; of lice and in three weeks they are' I all dead. As I have not been trying to , i raise chickens but three years. I don't | I know much about raising them and i ' would like some information. Well. I guess I had better quit, as iny ‘ letter is getting long already. Thanking you for any Information, sincerely. MRS H. G. LEE. Dawson. Ga A HELPFUL LETTER. Dear Mrs. Thomas: I get a lot of help out of this part of the Journal ami along with some others I am going to ask some of you to please tell me how to keep weevils out of my beans. J raise quantities for winter but the in sects get the most of them. 1 will be glad to know of a harmless preven tive. As one of the readers was asking about cooking hens. I will give my fa vorite way. I cook it whole because the hones don't stick out like they do when cut up before it is cooked, spread in a large biscuit pan with the gravy, sprinkle with a handful of flour and several small pieces of butter, than pepper to suit taste, let brown, dipping gravy over it several times, add flour again and a pint of sweet milk, let brown and serve. I am not very good at writing recipes, but think most any one will like it. As 1 atp a stranger to all. T make my call short. Wishing you all a happy year.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1916 ConJuctedpxj HOW AUGUSTA, GA., HAS MADE GOOD. Aug visitor to Florida will lie inter ested in tlie paved roads and streets that are seen near Tampa and St. Pet ersburg. 1 was not surprised to see the streets paved with fine vitrified brick—miles and miles In these two ci ties. but I wos astonished to see the public roads, outside these two cities just as nicely paved as if they were "inside the city limits—atid every brick I that 1 examined had Ks well defined 1 mark. "Augusta, Ga.” Do not mls ] understand me. these uncommon coun try roads reach out for at least fifteen and twenty miles, and they are magnifi j ciently constructed and St. Petersburg I and the county in which it is located ' has issued bonds right lately for one I million dollars to poy for such road construction. It is a sandy country and the roads were difficult fr outo mobiling in these sandy stretches, but Augusta brick has settled the diffi culty. Somebody in Augusta has been wide awake and knows a good thing when they actually see it. I was entertained in a beautiful lit tle villa, in suburbs of St. Petersburg, which is a little way outside the city limits and yet those magnificlently paved roods always in sight. The villa faced "Atlanta avenue,” and the next parallel street was named Pied mont avenue. Now, how is that for high? I made inquries of cause. Some years ago an Atlanta man invested in grape fruit and orange groves, and built two or more nice dwellings, and suc ceeded in getting attention from the county authorities, and were willing to i lay down paving and allowed the pro- I pricor to name the streets. They w ere willing to help those who were to help themselves. Tn my part of the countv the rule has been to tax only those who help themselves until they groan under the expense and consequent I hardships of heavy taxation. WHERE WOMEN VOTE.

Georgia has acquired unenviable I prominence by the Frank lynching, and, once you give a dog a bad name, every ' bodv proceeds to give it a kick. Some of the newspapers are printing columns of talk, and advice and foie < bodings from preachers, lawyers, etc. ] But, as the Indians used to say, when I they had made «P their minds. Put this ;in your pipe and smoke it, so I will I say as long as rape violence prevails in | Georgia, then lynching is going to con i tiuue. There is nothing more certain so long as there Is enough red blood ' and manhood in the Caucasian race to ] stand for the protection of their wom en. Smoke that, brethren! It is true. But I do deplore the unseemly haste which lynches suspected people, and for I other crimes than the one that I will I not name in this connection. Some folks are blaming the governor. , who says his power is limited; some ar e blaming the judges who do not hurry up the trials; some are blaming the lawyers who take advantage of technicalities to free the prisoner, all of which are worth the mention, but none of them are alone guilty of delay and timidity and working for law fees. In England the convicted person is just certain to get his punishment. In Georgia the convicted person is always trying to get pardoned out of the pen itentiary. In that notorious Frank case every member of the prison commission was that night in Milledgeville, and quite near the state prison. A trio of school boys would have been quite as efficient in the crisis. They were fully aware of the state of the public mind, and it was their duty to act promptly, which they failed to do. 1 believe we should allow the courts to decide on the guilt of an offender. The offender can appeal and get a re vision by the supreme court; then the i thing ought to stop. It is something i tierce to understand how much of the J governor's time is consumed by appeals I for pardon, etc. It was understood that I the prison commission would relieve ■ that pressure, but it is disheartening to i see when and how those three officials ■ van recede and proceed, and sepersede i and intercede, and all in contradiction , of what they were appointed to do. CAN YOU HELP HER? Lavonia. Ga.. Feb. 11, 19D>. I Mrs. W. H. Felton, Cartersville. Ga. Pear Madam; 1 enjoy reading The Senn-Weekly Journal, especially the Country Home.

He was enlisted from Stewart county near Lumpkin. Ga., and if there are any living and will write me it will be a great favor as 1 am in need of a pension. If you can help me 1 certainly will appreciate your kindness. Yours sincerely, MRS. RACHEL BARTLETT. Lavonia, Ga. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON, MARCH 5 BY MARION M’H. HULL, M. D. Acts 7:l-8:3. Golden Text: “Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee the crown of life." Rev. 2:10. No successful movement i.s without, danger. The church at Jerusalem had j had unusual success and had overcome | grave dangers. It had its human limi tations after all. It is not surprising! therefefre, that we find a defect in the • brotherhood. They were too busy with I the* work in Jerusalem to look towards! the regions beyond. They were infatuat-| e<i with the success which they were' having there, and were in danger of for- i getting that their Lord, just prior to Hisj ascension, had told them that thei ■ should be witnesses to Him not only in Jerusalem, but also in Judea and in Samaria, and unto th© uttermost parts of the earth. Stephen, who was one of the Hellenis-; tic Jews, treasurer of the brotherhood, I had developed some unusual traits. He | had so yielded himself to the spirit of' God that God was mightily using him. : He was full of grace and of power, and . miracles and signs were wrought by him. He did not confine his ministry to the temporal affairs, but witnessed by life and by lip with marvelous power. Being a foreigner, naturally his thoughts turned towards the Jews in his own honje; and he longed for them to have the blessings of the gospel as he! had learned to appreciate them in Jeru-, salem. In speaking with the Jews who were of the synagogue of the Libertines, the Cyrenians and the Alexandrians, j they resented his implication that God could be worshipped in any other place] than Jerusalem, or in any other way than according to the ceremonial wor ship originally established by Moses. He backed up his opinion, however, with ■scripture and with his own life to such an extent that they were abashed. They could not withstand the arguments that he presented. z Finally, when they could < not answer his arguments they became ( angry, and charged him with disloyalty. ( Then ttfey brought their charge before ( the Sanhedrin, and set up witnesses to swear that they had heard him speak words against this holy place and ( against the law. ( STEPHEN'S CHARGE AND COUNTER CHARGE. When Stephen was given an opportun ity to speak. he faced the charge , against him by boldly asserting that it ‘ was true—that it was God’s plan to be ( worshipped In some other place than Jerusalem and in some other way than ( according to the Mosaic custom. He an- t swered this charge very adroitly by giv ing an outline of the history of God’s ' dealings with His people from the time that He chose Abraham. He showed how ' Abraham had worshipped in Haren, how the fathers had worshipped in Canaan, how th© Israelites had been 'in Egypt and had finally been led into Canaan. Jt was not until Solomon's time that this temple had been built, and even then not at God's request, because God could > not be confined in any house made with s hands, since heaven was His throne and earth was His footstool. He declared also that even Moses, who had given them the law, had prophesied ’ that another prophet should come like unto himself, yet greater, who should 1 be the deliverer of his people; and that < therefore, the truth of his claim that fit 1 was God’s plan to be worshipped in * some other place aitd in some other i way also, was proven, by the history of ' their, nation and by prophecy. Then Stephen made a counter-charge ' against them. He probably saw from < the expression of their ’ faces that they were not receiving his claims kindly, al- t though they could not answer them; so i he seized this opportunity to boldly de- s clare the truth to them, hoping that t they might be convicted by it, and t change their ways. He pointed out that 1 in their opposition to the truth they 1 were not consistently following out the i history of the nation of Israel, which < had been one of rejection of God’s plans < from the very first. It was God’s plan j that they should be delivered by Jos- I eph, and yet they had rejected him. It f was God's plan that they should be de- £ livered by Moses, and yet they had re jected him twice. i They had rejected all of the proph- f ets who had foretold the coming of the j Messiah- and now that the Messiah had t come, they had even rejected Him and < murdered Him. He charged them with » being spiritually blind, unable to hear j God's voice when He spoke, and to be 1 always resisting the Spirit of God. • r They were so infuriated that the Su- ? preme Court of the Jewish nation be- t came a mob! They carried their victim < out and stoned him to death. This was < the ordinary mode of death for bias- • phemy under the Jewish laws. The rea- I son why they were able to carry it out ( 1 at this time was because the withdraw al of Pilate by the Roman government, left an interregnum of a year or two about A. D. 36, when the Jews prac-j j tically had the right to condemn to , death; although just prior to this and i , for a number of years afterwards that j right was withheld by the Romans. , STEPHEN'S CONTRIBUTION. Stephen's life was short, but he made s a marvelous contribution to the church.] I First, in the power of personality. His life and his lips witnessed to the truth I wit hgreat power, regardless of what < I the result was to himself. Stephen's life illustrates what Paul wrote after-!? wards to Timothy, that all who would i live Godly in Christ Jesus must suffer] ■ persecution. This is just as true today!? as in the centuries past. Persecution I [Safe Home Remedy for Skin-Troubles Eczema, ringworm, and other itching, burning skin eruptions are so easily made worse by improper treatment that one has to be .. very careful. There is one method, however, that you need never (ZVv, hesitate to use, even yf/x ' on a baby’s tender skin —that is the res inol treatment. Resi- | nol is the prescription ; of a Baltimore doctor, put up in the form of rcsinol ointment and resinol soap. This proved so remarkably suc cessful, that thousands of other physi cians have prescribed it constantly for over twenty years. Generally rcsinol stops itching at once, and heals the eruption quickly and at little cost. Resinol ointment •nd resinol soap can be bought at any druggist’s. Rcsinol Soap is not only unusually cleansing and softening, but its regular use gives to the skin and hair that natural beauty of perfect health which cosmetics can only imitate.

If you have never been misunderstood or criticized for your Christian life, you will do well to examine your life to see whether it is Christian. Second, Stephen made a vast contri bution to the church in giving it a broader conception of its mission. The persecution which followed the death of Stephen drove the disciples into Judea and Samaria, and made them realizt actually that they had a duty to people in other places than Jerusa lem. Heretofore, their worship had been in connection with the temple. From this time on they had learned that God may be worshiped in any place, so long as He is worshiped In spirit and in truth. . . Third, Stephen made a great contri bution in his spirit of forgiveness and in showing us how to suffer, as a Christian. Never before, except in the instance of Jesus, Himself, had one been persecuted and yet prayed for His enemies. Stephen bpre no malice, even though he had every right to do so. On the contrary, while the rocks were bruis ing his body and his strength was fail ing, the love of his Master beamed forth in his life as he prayed for the very men who were responsible for his death. Fourth, one of the largest contribu tions which Stephen made to the church was in the conversion of Saul. We shall deal with this more fully later, hut we must say hire what St. Augus tine said, “If Stephen had not prayed, Paul had not preached.” Flven though he made havoc of the church and had no mercy on man, woman or child, Saul could never get away from that look of an angel on his face or from the prayer for forgiveness which fell from his lips, until finally he resisted the Spirit no longer, but yielded himself absolutely to Him. Teachers, impress upon your “ ‘teen age” boys and girls to stand true re gardless of the cost. Show your jun iors that it is more heroic to forgive than to ‘'get even." Teach your adult classes that no sacrifice made for the service of Christ is a failure, but is of inestimable value. Personally beware, lest you be guilty of the sin of the religious leaders of that day—avoid spiritual blindness and deafness, and examine yourselves carefully that you do not at any time resist the Spirit of God.'
